Jimmy Kimmel may never have intended to get political like his fellow late night hosts Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert, but he can’t just say nothing when it comes to stuff like this!
In case you haven’t heard, much of the Republican Party has abandoned U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore after several women have come forward saying he made inappropriate sexual advances toward them in their teens. One was only 14 years old.
It’s since come out that he was even banned from his local mall because he wouldn’t leave the young girls alone.

But Donald Trump and a few other right wing voices have continued to support Moore. Notably Sean Hannity even as he started to lose sponsors; most recently The Federalist, the site created by Meghan McCain‘s new husband, published an article supporting him.
So Kimmel decided to troll Moore at a recent Alabama rally, sending Jake Byrd (actually comic Tony Barbieri) to protest in Moore’s favor — which didn’t make him look too good.
That’s something the Judge didn’t take kindly to! See the war of words that followed (below)!

To which Moore responded:
.@jimmykimmel If you want to mock our Christian values, come down here to Alabama and do it man to man. #ALSen https://t.co/E7oQB9D83P

Sounds great Roy – let me know when you get some Christian values and I’ll be there!

Despite D.C. and Hollywood Elites’ bigotry towards southerners, Jimmy, we’ll save you a seat on the front pew. https://t.co/z7n6uaeyCj

OK Roy, but I’m leaving my daughters at home! P.S. – wear that cute little leather vest https://t.co/scweglm2Fg

Dayum! Mic drop!
These politicians need to stop thinking they can win fights with Jimmy Kimmel…
